# Viking Rise vs Project Entropy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Viking Rise at 58% against Project Entropy's 25%. Viking Rise also leads on ratings volume (62K vs 1.4K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Viking Rise sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Project Entropy sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Viking Rise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Viking Rise has 62K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of Viking Rise's written reviews are positive against 25% of Project Entropy's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
